Water is very important in our lives.Just over half of our bodies is made up of water.We always think we’ll have clean water to drink.But in many parts of the world,clean water is more valuable than gold.People in developing countries get sick and die every day because they don’t have clean enough water to drink.What can we do to solve this problem

A zero-waste life is a lifestyle that hardly creates any rubbish.So,a zero-waste store is about providing a kind of everyday and pleasant-looking zero-waste products to help people start on a zero-waste life journey.
“Zero waste” or “danshari” was first suggested by a French woman called Bea Johnson.Her idea is:live a life without creating any rubbish;use different kinds of ways to save the environment,such as stopping the use of one-off objects;giving unwanted things to others or giving them away to organizations like the Red Cross.
Yu Yuan,27,is deeply interested in this idea.She and her boyfriend have lived in Beijing for many years.And earlier she used to buy things without thinking carefully until she saw a video about “zero waste”,in which a family of four placed the rubbish they produced every year in a jar(罐).After watching the video,Yu wanted to experience this zero-waste lifestyle with her boyfriend.
A zero-waste life follows the 6R rule—Refuse,Reduce,Reuse,Repair,Recycle and Rot.From August to October when Yu followed the rule of zero waste 6R,she and her boyfriend Joe Harvey both produced only two cans of rubbish.
Now,the couple have opened a small shop in Beijing,where they use wood products to take the place of plastic ones and cloth bags with environmentally friendly logos.Most products sold in the store can be reused.The store also has second-hand books and CDs/DVDs with ideas to make the best of the used things.
“Those who once experienced the non-waste lifestyle have slowly changed their ideas,” says Yu.“It is just around us at our fingertips.” Yu expects more of her friends to join her on the road to zero waste.
(A)34.Bea Johnson suggests that people should .
A.try to produce no rubbish in life
B.share any objects with others
C.help their friends live comfortably

(B)35.We can see from the passage that Yu Yuan .
A.offers plastic bags in her store
B.is influenced by the 6R rule
C.often buys things she doesn’t need
D.likes listening to CDs very much
(D)36.What Yu Yuan says in the last paragraph probably means that .
A.lots of people doubt the zero-waste lifestyle
B.she feels it hard to continue her lifestyle
C.her friends have followed her lifestyle
D.the zero-waste lifestyle is not difficult to live
(C)37.Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A.Opening up a second-hand store B.Recycling waste
C.Saving the environment D.Joining the couple
(D)
It was Day 1 of our vacation on Cortes,a beautiful quiet island.“Phone,phone,phone,” my son kept moaning(呻吟).In front of him was a big window facing the blue ocean.And a cool gentle wind was coming in from the door.Clearly,he saw and felt none of it.
Back at hotel,I’d soon give up and hand the phone over to him after five minutes of listening to this kind of moaning.Before we left,I had told my 10-year-old son the rule—no emails,no video games,and no phone.We came here to get away from them all.Here we were on our first day and already,he couldn’t stand it.Then I walked down the grass road to the beach and looked out to the sea.My 6-year-old daughter and my husband were drawing on pieces of wood.They were doing just fine.
On Day 2,we spent the whole morning digging for shells.This time,my son joined us.He collected shellfish and other sea treasures.When we got back to our little wood house,I gave my son a book and put him on the lovely garden chair.It was almost dinner when he looked up.
The next few days passed in peace.On Day 6,my son was lying beside me on the beach,watching the sun going down.He was playing with the sand.And there was something shining in his eyes.I realized how time slowed down for both of us.It was exactly what I wanted.Finally,we were able to sit quietly without thinking about screens,phone calls and emails.
A week away from all the electronics and life is good.

A zero-waste life is a lifestyle that hardly creates any rubbish.So,a zero-waste store is about providing a kind of everyday and pleasant-looking zero-waste products to help people start on a zero-waste life journey.
“Zero waste” or “danshari” was first suggested by a French woman called Bea Johnson.Her idea is:live a life without creating any rubbish;use different kinds of ways to save the environment,such as stopping the use of one-off objects;giving unwanted things to others or giving them away to organizations like the Red Cross.
Yu Yuan,27,is deeply interested in this idea.She and her boyfriend have lived in Beijing for many years.And earlier she used to buy things without thinking carefully until she saw a video about “zero waste”,in which a family of four placed the rubbish they produced every year in a jar(罐).After watching the video,Yu wanted to experience this zero-waste lifestyle with her boyfriend.
A zero-waste life follows the 6R rule—Refuse,Reduce,Reuse,Repair,Recycle and Rot.From August to October when Yu followed the rule of zero waste 6R,she and her boyfriend Joe Harvey both produced only two cans of rubbish.
Now,the couple have opened a small shop in Beijing,where they use wood products to take the place of plastic ones and cloth bags with environmentally friendly logos.Most products sold in the store can be reused.The store also has second-hand books and CDs/DVDs with ideas to make the best of the used things.
“Those who once experienced the non-waste lifestyle have slowly changed their ideas,” says Yu.“It is just around us at our fingertips.” Yu expects more of her friends to join her on the road to zero waste.

On Day 2,we spent the whole morning digging for shells.This time,my son joined us.He collected shellfish and other sea treasures.When we got back to our little wood house,I gave my son a book and put him on the lovely garden chair.It was almost dinner when he looked up.
The next few days passed in peace.On Day 6,my son was lying beside me on the beach,watching the sun going down.He was playing with the sand.And there was something shining in his eyes.I realized how time slowed down for both of us.It was exactly what I wanted.Finally,we were able to sit quietly without thinking about screens,phone calls and emails.
A week away from all the electronics and life is good.
